Abstract

We provide sufficient and necessary conditions for the coefficients of a q-polynomial f over GF(q^n) which ensure that the number of distinct roots of f in GF(q^n) equals the degree of f. We say that these polynomials have maximum kernel. As an application we study in detail q-polynomials of degree q^(n-2) over GF(q^n) which have maximum kernel and for n<7 we list all q-polynomials with maximum kernel. We also obtain information on the splitting field of an arbitrary q-polynomial. Analogous results are proved for q^s-polynomials as well, where gcd(s,n) = 1.
